My 66 Elky is a 7B build
Has a few 67 items on it too.

I would think the new year would start in August

On the reverse side, my 70 has a build date of 08C, 3rd week of August, 1969 with a sequence number of 102249 making it the 2,249th unit off the line.

I agree with the above. August is the beginning of the model year.

Current year was to the end of June. July was shutdown for model changeover and August was startup for new models. These are approximate dates.
